Dasheng said on the side: "I often arrange for someone to sprinkle and sweep, and the room has not been touched, only sweeping the dust from time to time, and everything is still the same as before." ”

Lin Piao looked sideways at Da Sheng, and saw that he was now very steady, and he also had a sense of birth when he spoke: "Do you teach all day now, and still go up to the mountains to fight birds?" ”

When Dasheng was asked like this, the look on his face was like a crack, revealing the young man who was once a little green, and he said with some embarrassment: "Sometimes I still go, but I basically stay at home, and I don't do much like this." ”

"You can sit still."

"People have to grow up, and going up the mountain to hunt finches has to be played by today's children."

Lin Piao didn't expect Dasheng to be so mature, Erzhu and Ergou had no place to give them finches to eat in the county government, and they couldn't look down on the little meat of the finch, otherwise they would definitely still have this interest.

They chatted for a while, and Dasheng asked the children to pack up their things, tables and chairs, and let everyone read at home for the next two days, and instead of using them for classes here, they should return the yard to Lin Piao first.

Dasheng is very dignified, he is whatever he says, not a single student dares to laugh or talk back, everyone honestly packs up their things, and then says goodbye to the ancestors one by one, it seems that it is simply too well-behaved.

After everyone left, Da Sheng stayed for a while and chatted about Shen Hong's affairs for a while, he wanted to know the current situation of Shen Hong and Erzhu Ergou, and after knowing that they had become famous, he nodded, and his expression was a little excited: "It's really a great thing." ”

Lin Piao told him: "Ergou is back, but I just went back to Tali's house to see my father and mother first, and you can get together later." ”

Da Sheng nodded, Lin Piao left him to eat, but he also refused, saying that the family should have already cooked, and he had to go back to eat.

Lin Piao nodded, did not force him to stay, and then looked at the crowd outside the courtyard wall, and suddenly felt a headache, and did not know how long it would take to disperse, anyway, whether it was to come to be happy or to see the excitement, there were more than you could imagine.

The middleman got out of the way a little, or because the lieutenant was coming.

The crowd parted to both sides, Zhou Xishan looked a lot more mature, it seemed that he should have been married, he pulled people away in front, the chief came out of the crowd, Lin Piao hurriedly greeted him: "The chief!" ”

Seeing that he was screaming so crisply, and he didn't get rid of Qiao at all, Li Chang immediately laughed heartily: "It's been a long time!" I just had lunch and heard this good news, Shen Hongzhong? The second pillar was also hit? They did a lift?! Ergou has become a showman?! All right! That's great! ”

The lieutenant chief was so happy that his voice was getting higher and higher, and Lin Piao was worried that his voice was hoarse.

"Captain, come to have a sip of tea, it has just been brewed, the students are still there just now, the ready-made hot water, the tea is the tea we specially brought back from the state capital, just to drink it now."

The chief sat down next to him, took a sip of tea, and praised it again and again.

Lin Piao went to take out the prepared tea cakes, because they were gifts, they bought them with exquisite packaging, the red cotton thread was tied several times, and there was a red paper block on the outer shell of the tea cake, on which was written a dragon flying phoenix dance, a very beautiful gift word.

The lieutenant excused himself twice, and then asked Zhou Xishan to take the things, and then made tea and invited everyone to come in to drink tea, the second aunt simply did not go to her yard, the two of them were here, so they could meet people together, so they were busy boiling water and making tea here, and invited the villagers to drink tea.

When the carriage arrived at the door of the house, they jumped out of the carriage and called the father and mother of the family to help carry things, such a majestic scene, everyone was stupid, especially when there were so many things to move out, so that they were not happy, and the neighbors were not envious, and they all gathered around to see the excitement, and they couldn't take care of looking at Lin Piao and the second aunt.

Ergou swaggered into the door, his father and mother saw him as if they saw ginseng, I hated to kiss immediately, goodbye these things, but also full of praise for his awesomeness, is a character, they have long known that Ergou was admitted to Xiucai, but when they see people, they have this real feeling, their sons, adults!

Juan'er It's the same over there, she looks at Wenwen who is weak and dressed up beautifully, but she brought back so many things, even her father and mother looked stupid, and said how did she bring so many things back, how much did it cost? Tell her to save money and use silver money, so that she can save it for the future, and not spend it so much.

Juan'er didn't care, she just took out the handkerchiefs she had embroidered and the clothes she made, showed them for them to use, and looked at the way they liked and cherished the handkerchiefs and clothes, and she felt very warm in her heart.

Xiao Yue's side was even more exaggerated, his father and mother were two loud voices, and every time they took out something, they screamed in the yard so much that they could not hear it all day, Xiao Yue guessed that they would have such a reaction, and they couldn't stand it, but she didn't tell them to be quiet, but just went to boil tea, and said that they should drink some tea first, so as to interrupt it.

Everyone reunited, and when the heat was the most hot, they cooked and reunited in their respective homes, rejoicing.

They had already discussed before they set off, and they would stay in the township for three days, after all, there were still so many things to take care of in the county government, and there were still two people waiting for them in the state capital, and they could not delay it indefinitely.

The plan is to arrive today, at noon and in the afternoon, all the people who should be seen, the favors that should be done, the things that should be sent out, tomorrow morning everyone goes to the grave together, and then each finds the ancestors to report the good news, and then wraps up, and the family to explain their plans for the future, to see if it can be done, after the series is completed, they can prepare for the return trip.

The second aunt and Shen Hong were both lonely, and the two got together to make a family, used some copper plates and exchanged some oil, salt, and grain with nearby neighbors, and bought two chickens from a family with chickens, so that they lived their lives first.

In the yard, because they are in Dasheng, they usually have to boil water to drink, but Chai He is fully prepared, plus the things they brought back, stew a pot of chicken soup, put some food, cook rice, chicken soup and rice, it is also a delicious and warm meal.

Then it was to see people, constantly seeing people, seeing the elders to give gifts, and seeing the younger generations to give a few copper plates, Lin Piao was not very clear about the relationship, and the second aunt was next to him.

"That is also a relative of the Shen family, she is not surnamed Shen, but her mother is a branch of the Shen family over there, you know."

I don't know......

Lin Piao didn't know anything, so he gave away all the things in a daze, said a basket of good things, listened to two baskets, and stayed up all day without an end, until it was completely dark.

Lin Piao slumped on the chair in the hall: "Oh my God, I'm so tired, no wonder a rich man must have a slave, a maid, a housekeeper, and he has to ask others to take care of him inside and out. ”

The second aunt also sat next to her and rested: "You have only been married for a long time, and you have moved out after not living long, and it is normal if you can't remember, if you live here like me for so long, you will feel that in fact, there are only so many people inside and out, and there are few new ones." ”

Lin Piao nodded: "Fortunately, you know the second aunt, otherwise I wouldn't be able to figure this out." ”

The two of them rested, and their emotions finally calmed down a lot, and they began to have leisure to think about others.

"I don't know how the two dogs Juan'er and Xiaoyue are doing at home?"

Chapter 119

Lin Piao thought for a while: "I'm about to live, I haven't seen my father and mother at home for a long time, and I have brought so many things back, my father and mother must love it with all their hearts." ”

The second aunt couldn't help laughing: "That must be, I haven't seen you for so long, how can there be no reason not to love, but there is another thing that is not easy to say, since they want to go out, but the father and mother of the family are still here, if they talk about it, I don't know what their father and mother are going to say." ”

Lin Piao sighed: "Anyway, I have to say it, there's nothing I can do, let's see what they can do." ”

Originally, it was difficult for parents in some families to agree to the matter of leaving home and developing, so they could only say that they should be prepared first, and then see if there was any other way.

Lin Piao and her second aunt sat in the courtyard and chatted for a while, talking about the changes in the village, but in fact, there was no change, that is, the trees had become thicker and more lush, and many of the teenagers and girls who had not yet talked about marriage were now already taking care of their children, and the children running around in the village looked relatively unfamiliar.

"I don't know how Uncle Qiu is doing with his relatives, saying that there are several uncles and aunts or something, and they have to take food and sugar to meet them, and then tell them that they are going to a distant place."

This is the most common human relationship in the countryside, even if it is an elder who usually has nothing to do with it, at this time to send something to inform, and then send a little money meaning, which means that people will not be with you in the future, but give you some money first, and I will be filial to you.

The second aunt shook her head: "Your Uncle Qiu's relatives don't have any good things, the main thing is that Zheng Qiu was too easy to bully a few years ago, so those people don't mix well, but Zheng Qiu has eyes on the top of his head, and he must be annoyed there, but he has a little temper now, and he is not so easy to bully, Da Zhuang is a person who can sort things out, and there is definitely no problem to deal with it." ”

Lin Piao nodded, and the two of them added some hot water to the pot.

"Isn't this tea a little light? Add a pinch of tea leaves. ”

Lin Piao shook his head: "It's dark this day, and I can't sleep at night with tea, so let's drink it like this, just have a little taste, let's just talk and moisten the skin." ”

"Yes."

Lin Piao was leisurely drinking tea here, but the Da Shen family was solemn and restless.

Condensation on Shen Hong's sudden popularity, he had such a fame at a young age, and this sense of oppression directly pressed on the younger generation of the Great Shen family, and the restlessness was because they wanted to climb this high branch.

"No matter how you say it, they are all the number one people in our Shen family, and there is no reason not to move around and be rusty." The eldest uncle said this first, looked at the eldest uncle, and very much agreed with her original decision, because Shen Hong was in the Xiucai affair, the second daughter-in-law did not make a lot of trouble, but his daughter-in-law knew the matter and could handle the matter, so he decided to have a good relationship with Shen Honglin Piao, not to offend them, and to be a relative who was not far away.

As soon as the eldest uncle said this, the second uncle collapsed his face and didn't speak, his son had been squeezed by the students of the Xiao Shen family because of the lack of middle school children, and finally won a child, Shen Hong was hit by the lifting of people again, Shen Bo has not yet been selected for the show, Shen Hong has already been a lifter, telling him to look at how not his eyes are hot, and he feels ashamed to think about it, after all, they and the little Shen family have always been working against each other, and they don't have a good face for each other.

The second aunt wanted to come and go, and she also hated the little Shen family, but when she saw that Shen Hong was in the middle of the lift, her eyes were hungry, and she pondered for a while and said: "This relative is to help each other, and it's nothing to walk around, aren't they going to go to the grave tomorrow?" We are the ancestral grave of a family, although we do not live together, but the grave is in one piece, tomorrow we will wait for him at the ancestral grave, burn paper together and talk. ”

The eldest aunt glanced at the second aunt in surprise, every time she mentioned Lin Piao and Shen Hong, she hated her teeth so much, why did she suddenly become reasonable when she heard that someone was in the house?

The eldest aunt knew that she must have her own plans, but since she could talk well, she didn't need to pick anything, so she said yes, saying that when we see tomorrow, we should be calm and have a good talk, and don't let our relatives stay away.

Lin Piao and his second aunt rested here, and they cleaned out the two rooms, because it was only the beginning of autumn, and the tiger was still very hot, so he could sleep with a thin quilt after cleaning it.

Lin Piao slept until dawn, and when he got up in the morning, he pushed open the door and saw that the second aunt was already busy with breakfast in the yard.

The two earthen stoves connected together, both of which were steaming from the lids, and the second aunt saw that Lin was floating, so she turned her head and called him: "Come and have breakfast, this will be just right." ”

"Auntie, what did you do, why did you use both stoves?" Generally, it is enough to burn one stove for breakfast, not very, and two stoves are not needed at all when you are busy.

"I'll boil a pot of hot water and prepare it, and I'll kill the chicken later." As the second aunt spoke, she lifted the lid of the pot, and the white gas gushed out, and when it dissipated, you could see the pumpkin and sweet potatoes steaming in the pot.

"You haven't eaten this bite in a while, and I look at the pumpkin and sweet potatoes that are good, and they must be sweet when steamed." The second aunt said.

Lin Piao went to get the handkerchief, but the second aunt stopped him: "I'm here, be careful that my hands are burned by the heat." ”

The second aunt neatly took out the things and put them on the table, and then put the large pieces of meat they brought back to worship their ancestors into the pot that was still hot and lid.

"If you are hungry, we can cut this meat on the mountain and eat it."

Lin Piao raised his hands and feet in agreement with this plan: "Then I'll bring the jar of oil-soaked meat, the oil in it will definitely be delicious to dip the meat in." ”

The second aunt nodded: "Then when the time comes, the piece will be thin, it will definitely have a taste, and when you go to the mountain, you will eat and drink, the ancestors are happy, and we are also happy." ”

Lin Piao nodded, thinking to himself that this is not an authentic version of Li Zhuang's white meat, it doesn't matter if it's authentic or not, it's just delicious anyway.

After the two of them had breakfast, they went to pack up their things, and many people in the neighborhood came to ask them about going to the grave, and they all said that they could accompany them, but Lin Piao politely refused.

Yesterday was tired enough to panic, if he continued the battle yesterday today, Lin Piao really couldn't stand it, especially going to the grave, what was the matter with a large number of escorted villagers next to him? Could it be that Lin Piao still has to perform a crying ancestral grave in front of them to be considered filial piety?

Lin Piao didn't care about anyone at this time, and when he and his second aunt were ready, they went to the mountain to go to the grave together.

The village is surrounded by rolling hills, but the highest mountain is the one where Li Shoumai and his team are located, which has a higher altitude and richer species, while the other side is a hill that is only about half the size of the mountain, which is better in feng shui.

Anyway, some Taoist priests said that feng shui is good, and the two families are neighbors, and the ancestral tombs of the two families are relatively close, and the distance between the middle of a hill is about 10 hours, and most of the ancestral tombs in the village are on this mountain.

When they went up the mountain, this was the first time Lin Piao had come to worship the ancestral tomb of the Shen family.

In fact, he was a little evasive, because his short-lived husband was still buried here, but this time Shen Hongzhong couldn't avoid it.

The two walked for a while, because they were all uphill, it was quite tiring, they were used to walking on the flat road outside, and their climbing skills were a little degraded, and the second aunt gasped and pointed to the front: "Look over there, it is your family's ancestral grave, let's go over, I'll accompany you to get this side first." ”

Lin Piao nodded, and they walked up with baskets, and there were many tombs along the way, one here and one there, some with tombstones, and some with nothing.

There were a few onlookers along the way, but because Lin Piao didn't pay much attention to them, they didn't get too close, so they stood far away and watched them look for graves.

Lin Piao walked in and heard the second aunt call him: "It's here." ”

Following the eyes of the second aunt, I saw two tombs leaning together, one surnamed Shen and the other Shen.

The second aunt said: "This is your father." ”

Lin Piao felt a little awkward when she heard this title, and the second aunt pointed not far away: "That one over there is Shen Song, let's burn some paper here first." ”

The two of them squatted down, took out all the sacrificial incense and candles in the basket, put on the meat and baba used to put the grave, and then lit the paper money and incense candles with a fire fold, and began to burn them one by one.

Lin Piao was relatively unfamiliar with this piece, so he heard the second aunt start chattering beside him: "Brother Shen, sister-in-law Shen, your good daughter-in-law is here to see you coming, you order a little money, go buy some food and clothing, take good care of yourself, usually play around when you are idle and have nothing to do, the bottom is not like the above, you have to earn money to spend, we will burn the money to you, you just spend it, your youngest son has been lifted, and he has not come back yet, you don't blame, you have to bless him Continue to go smoothly, the better and better, when he is free, he." I will definitely come and visit their graves in person. ”

Lin Piao squatted next to him where he dared to speak, and when he saw the second aunt chatting with each other, he was even weaker, pitiful and helpless.

After burning the two graves, when the paper money was burned clean and the fire was extinguished, they put away their things again and continued to walk towards Shen Song with their small baskets.

Shen Song's tombstone is a thin stone slab chiseled with his name written on it, and his family relationship is engraved in small letters on the side, his wife Lin Piao, and his brother Shen Hong.

The two of them squatted down, repeated the previous process, laid out everything, lit incense candles, plugged in what should be plugged in, and burned what should be burned.

Lin Piao half-squatted next to him and kept burning paper, looking at Shen Song's name on the tombstone, thinking about it, I hope Shen Song, you won't suddenly take a cold shower in the hottest weather in your next life.

Alas, burn more paper money for the short-lived old man.

I don't know if Shen Song heard the voice of his heart, good guy, the smoke didn't run anywhere else, just blew in the direction of Lin Piao, he squatted on the left, the wind came to the left, he squatted on the right, and after a while the wind came to the right again.

The second aunt greeted him: "Come, you come here to burn, here is not subject to the wind." The second aunt gave him the position, and finally got better, and he could burn paper in peace.

Lin Piao looked at the tombstone, and learned to speak to the second aunt while burning a lot of paper, but because the business was not yet proficient, Lin Piao's voice was very quiet: "If you have this will, you can marry another one below, I definitely have no opinion at all, of course, I don't have to marry me, I must support you to fall in love freely, find the best one you like, the money is not enough to spend, no matter where I will burn it for you, I will burn it for you, and I guarantee that you will be burned a lot of it, and you will be the first on the rich list below." ”

The second aunt listened to him talking nonsense, but the second aunt did not interrupt him when he said a few words to the deceased husband, but just stood up and looked around, giving him a look.
